Re: Weekly Photo Fun 5/22 - 5/28/15 - Sumpter250 - 05-27-2015 Steamtrains Wrote:The weathering on that GP-15 is fantastic..!! That was done several years ago, and I don't remember the exact "step by step". It was mostly "dry brush". Mix a color to represent the "grunge", thin it down a bit, pick up the paint with just the tip of the brush, and dab most of it off before using the brush to streak the surface. Another brush with a bit of thinner only ( again remove the excess before using ) was then streaked over the still wet first application. The whole idea of dry-brushing, is to apply minute amounts of paint with each stroke. The followup with a thinner "lightly" dampened brush, makes it look more like "rain-streaked dirt" I spent a lot of time playing with the process before I got the results I wanted, and only then did I apply it to the model. It was very helpful to have that loco close enough to home to be able to take the model to it, to compare. Re: Weekly Photo Fun 5/22 - 5/28/15 - Steamtrains - 05-29-2015 Thanks a lot..!! I'll give it a try on some rolling stock that need it. Once I get the hang of it, I'll tackle the engines... |
